20 Years On;The Devil Wears Prada 2

May 3, 2026

The sequel we’ve all been waiting for, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and it certainly lives up to expectations with a fresh, elevated twist to the storyline that keeps things feeling exciting rather than predictable.

From the very first scene, it pulls you straight back into that fast-paced, glossy world we all secretly wish we were part of, even if only for the covetable outfits alone.

The storyline mirrors the arc of the original in a way that feels intentional and nostalgic, yet it’s layered with enough newness to keep you guessing the whole way through. Just when you think you know where it’s heading… it pivots.

The cast is, quite simply, brilliant. There’s a real sense of ease in the performances, like the characters slipping back into perfectly tailored pieces that never went out of style. The chemistry is still there, the timing is spot on, and the humour lands effortlessly.

It’s comical without trying too hard, very entertaining throughout, and filled with those sharp little moments that made the first film so iconic.

And the fashion was needless to say, fabulous. Every scene feels like a love letter to style with bold fashion statements, polished tailoring, and just the right amount of drama.

But more than anything, it’s the nostalgia that hits. Seeing those familiar characters again feels like catching up with old friends now a little older, a little wiser, but still so wonderfully themselves.

A sequel that actually delivers? Rare. But this one absolutely does ❤

Dressed Up In Love; A Valentines Date Night Out

February 15, 2026

We’re not usually ones to celebrate Valentines Day and would normally opt for a home cooked meal over going out, but with Valentines Day falling on a Saturday this year, it was an excuse to make our usual date night that little bit more special.

The Valentines outfit of the night was built around my killer snakeskin boot heels which did all the talking. I paired them with these Topshop black skinny jeans, a Missguided nude pink tie front blouse layered over this maroon lace bralet, my vintage gold heart necklace for a nod to the love theme, and my oversized brown fur coat to complete the look.

My Sandro green velvet handbag and these stunning Heaven Mayhem pearl statement earrings added an extra touch of glam to the fit; pearls are so chic and timeless, I’m obsessed.

We had early 6pm dinner reservations at Cosy Club in Basingstoke Festival Place.

Our preference for dinner would’ve been Cote, however they were fully booked so Cosy Club was our next best option and the vibes were on point for Valentines night.

I had the sticky Asian cauliflower salad with kimchi, shredded leaves, pickled mooli, edamame beans and a rice wine dressing which was delicious and full of spicy flavour.

My boyfriend opted for the flat iron steak served with peppercorn sauce, fries, caesar salad and a side of macaroni cheese.

The food came quickly, it was all nicely presented and the service from our waiter was very friendly. Overall a lovely dinner which exceeded our expectations.

Following dinner we had the cinema booked for 7:50pm and I was super excited to see the highly anticipated Wuthering Heights movie.

Fresh popcorn at the cinema is a must and some wine with the movie was another treat being our Valentines date night.

We don’t go to the cinema very often as we have such a great setup at home, so we booked the best seats in the house and felt very comfy indeed in our recliner premium seats.

Wuthering Heights was brilliant and the perfect romantic movie for a Valentines cinema trip.

It was nice to switch it up from our usual date night drill and fully switch off from the outside world for a few hours to enjoy the magic of the movie.

Hope you all had a gorgeous Valentines Day too ❤
